Musician and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent listens as U.S. President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress February 12, 2013 in Washington, DC.

*Ted Nugent is sorry — sort of — for calling President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel.”

In an interview with conservative radio host Ben Ferguson, the musician apologized for comments he made during a talk with Guns.com last month. In that interview, which focused on the 2016 U.S. presidential race and Nugent’s potential interest in running, he had more than a few choice words for the President.

“I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame, enough Americans to be ever vigilant, but not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America,” he said in that interview (via Rolling Stone). “I am heartbroken but I am not giving up.”

But now, Nugent is backing away — albeit just a bit — from those comments, though his apology isn’t exactly directed at President Obama.

“I do apologize — not necessarily to the President — but on behalf of much better men than myself,” he told CNN, also noting that he regretted using “street-fighter terminology” instead of, say, “violator of his oath to the Constitution.”

“I apologize for using the term,” he added. “I will try to elevate my vernacular to the level of those great men that I’m learning from in the world of politics.”

Nugent has been linked to a potential presidential campaign in 2016, saying, “Sure, why not?” when asked if he’d consider a run for the spot last November.

Linda: You REALLY want Killary to be president? Because she’s a woman…?! Just like you voted for Obama, so he could be the first “black” president??
It doesn’t matter “who” we put in office anymore does it.. Its more about “what”..

ridiculous…he shows fear and regret ….mr Obama choses his word carefully to deceive in the name of the party democrat and the ignorance of one mans guess versus billions in economic truth …causing cost to everyday hard workers….the founding fathers thought words were swords…and they are, pardon the couple who lost their life long insurance and are paying for the sixty families of minorities that haven’t ever worked..grow up you wimp of a country.

Obama was raised by communists, he has lied to reach his position and still you defend his Nazi agenda…because obama is just like Hitler was.
Nugent called it like he and countless others see it…a p.o.s in charge, ruining this country.
Suck it up bitches. It is what it is.

I got a better idea. Why don’t we purge your fascist KKK ass and hang you from the tree of liberty. But if you leave and stop whipping your ass with the word Freedom by denying it to everyone who doesn’t walk, talk, pray, and pay like you…you just might make it to Mexico alive. I’m sure you’ll be popular there.

I don’t trust judgments of what’s “subhuman” made by a guy who (claimed to have) deliberately crapped his own pants to beat the draft. But if that’s your cup of tea and where you seek leadership, well…last time I checked it’s still a mostly free country. Suit yourself.

This nation has been on a Hell bound mission for decades so that’s not. Obama’s fault. talk about welfare that’s an agenda that was put together to keep minorities from competing with rich whites in the working world.so what did the Bush administration do to keep the economy from going to the outhouse?
Clinton sent Jobs to China with NAFTA.

Wow I am amazed at the stupidity of some of these people. I have my views. Like everyone getting welfare should be regulated for people who truly need it. And they need to be drug tested. I took a drug test to get my job. U should be drug tested to use my money from taxes. I believe that America is for Americans and we should shut down our borders and keep jobs for us. As far as marriage people should be free to do as they wish. It is freedom right? I think we should only spend our money in America and get our own shit straight first. As far as the second ammendment I want my damn guns and I DARE anyone to try and take them!
